The First International ESP8266 Contest Has Just Been Launched

Shanghai, ChinaJul 26, 2017

Submit your prototyping idea and take part in the competition now!

The title of our contest is: “Simplify the Connected World with ESP8266”. The purpose of this competition is to point out that IoT solutions can have a significant effect on people’s everyday lives, while they need not be expensive or complicated. To this end, we have kept the scope of the competition deliberately wide. This way we hope to empower developers by letting them use their imagination and creativity when coming up with potential projects.

For your chance to win one of our awesome cash and hardware prizes, submit your projects by October 12, 2017. Judges will vote on sixteen winners, all of whom will earn our amazing ESP-WROVER-KIT together with cash prizes and swag ranging in value from $25 to more than $300 USD!
